You can put these toppings on anything gluten free you may have at home really. You can make pizza toasts, pizza bagels, english muffin pizzas, etc.

To start, you’ll need to make the gluten-free pizza dough. You can use a pre-made gluten-free pizza crust mix or make your own from scratch. There are many gluten-free flour blends available that work well for pizza dough, such as a mixture of rice flour, tapioca flour, and potato starch. Follow the instructions on the package or recipe to make the dough, and then roll it out into a circle on a floured surface.

Shredded Chicken

Next, you’ll need shredded chicken. You can use leftover chicken, rotisserie chicken, or cook chicken breasts or thighs and shred them with a fork. To add flavor, season the chicken with salt, pepper, and any other spices you like, such as garlic powder or paprika.
